A new rumor in the Star Wars corner of the galaxy indicates that plans have changed, and that the future of the franchise is once again in flux.

While the report has yet to be confirmed, Super Bro Movies indicates that Rian Johnson will no longer be directing the planned Star Wars trilogy that would have been separate from the Skywalker Saga.

According to the rumor, Johnson has walked away from the franchise. Lucasfilm has not confirmed the rumors, which is interesting considering the company announced the departures of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from Solo: A Star Wars Story, as well as the departure of Colin Trevorrow from Star Wars: Episode IX, before the news hit other outlets.

Johnson's trilogy was announced before the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which he wrote and directed. It was said to be completely unconnected from the events of the main saga and would have featured all new characters in entirely different settings.

Knives Out is a modern-day "whodunnit," with Johnson returning to the same genre as his first film Brick. The movie stars Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Lakieth Stanfield, Jamie Lee Curtis, and many other prominent actors.

This also isn't the end of the Star Wars franchise, with Star Wars: Episode IX premiering in theaters in December. Lucasfilm also announced a series of films to be written and produced by Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, so the franchise will absolutely continue beyond the end of the Skywalker Saga.
